I wasn’t sure if I’d find a modern boiler that was energy efficient
I’m actually kind of surprised how upset I was when I learned that we had to replace the old boiler.
All the piping and radiators were still in great shape, but the boiler itself was pretty much shot.
I imagine this boiler must have lasted a good 40 years or so because it was old even when we first bought the house and that was 20 years ago. This boiler kept us nice and toasty over the years and we never had any major issues. I’m sure a big part of the reason was because we made sure to have our heating system checked and tuned up each year. Another thing I loved about that boiler was how energy efficient it was, especially for the age of the heating system. There’s the old saying that they don’t make them like they used to. Well, I wasn’t so sure about that with boiler systems but I was somewhat worried to find out. When I had a consultation with an HVAC professional, he said it would be fairly straightforward to replace the old boiler. The new boilers that were available were also pretty amazing and even more energy efficient than the old one. I was thinking that nothing would be able to replace our old friend that kept us toasty through the frosty winters over the years. Well, I was wrong, we found the perfect replacement and honestly it works so much better than the old one! I’ll miss the old boiler system, but I welcome the new one and hope it lasts just as long as the old heating unit.
